Was going to ask the same question...

Yes. As often as I can, and as the Spirit leads.

And in whatever circle of influence God has given me, I urge others to do so also.

Men are not perfect they will never be and should never be viewed and trusted as such Perfect gifts.
Cooper, I am not perfect.

Never have I claimed to be.

The ministry is God's gift.

Do you wish to debate that concept from the Scripture?

You'll lose.

Why don't you answer his question? Why do you think God gave the five fold ministry?

As gently as I can say this, I have to assert that areas of clear violation of Scriptural principles (and I am not talking about standards) are indicators that all might not be well as far as heart condition and desire for truth goes.

One doesn't often find apostles & prophets in many UPC circles these days.

Who are some of the apostles & prophets that you have speak when the Spirit leads?

Sister,

This is one of the Scriptural principles our brother has always found problematic. He doesn't like to acknowledge it.

Digger,

Maybe you are in the wrong circles.

I would not be comfprtable naming names, and the men I would name would probably not be comfortable with me naming them as Apostles and Prophets in this setting.

THE GIFT is perfect not the man/woman.

Eph 4:8-16

8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

9(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
KJV
